Continental Europe is terra incognita for Google Maps. Now there is a small map covering the area of Italy which hosts the Olympic Winter Games. Does that mean Google may find the map of Germany when the Worldcup starts in a few months?

It would if americans cared about soccer. They didn't even care about the Olympics that much this time. Worldcup?

I think the Olympics are quite a topic in the US.

When google maps first came out they had maps for Australia, but after a week or so they disappeared, I could never work out why.
